footprints - taehyung

Left behind were his footprints, the only part of him that he was willing to leave behind. He didn't dare turn back to see your face one more time because he was scared.

If Taehyung had seen your tears and your pained expression, he wouldn't have it in him to walk away, to pursue his dream.

Tears brimmed at the edge of your eyes, ready to seep out and be free, but you held them in, not wanting him to turn back so he could finally be happy.

Taehyung held his head low, his gaze on his boots as they left footprints in the snow. He was walking his way to the train station, which was not far away.

You stared at his manly figure from the back, wishing you had gotten to hold it or hug it one last time before he took off.

Your thoughts drifted to your past and recent memories of the both of you, happy as can be and smiling.

It wasn't until you found yourself whispering over and over—

"stay"

—that you had released a hot tear, cooling down as it rolled down your cheek in the cold winter air.

Then, you couldn't understand why. How could he just leave all your memories together behind and walk away, leaving you to silently grieve and beg for him to stay and be yours?

How could he?

If only you had confessed and not hide your feelings towards him, maybe your bestfriend would be yours, in your arms, by your side, never thinking twice about leaving—

for his dreams. That's right, Taehyung did this for himself.

He deserved to be happy, but what about you?

"Stay." You whispered over and over, his figure disappearing the farther he went.
